Google Scholar hits-per-page url string

I'm querying Google Scholar and pulling the first X number of results. In default mode, searches return 10 hits per page.开发者_如何学运维 This can be changed via a browser by editing the settings.

Does anyone know if there is a parameter I can pass along with the search query that will edit this without requiring a preference change?

For the record, Google Scholar does not provide an API, which is why I'm using url strings.

Cheers,

Yes, the query param you are looking for is num. Default value for it is 10.

Another param that might be of an interest is start, which is responsible for the pagination, it actually tells Google what result should be first on the page you see.

An interesting fact is that if you combine num and start in any way, it will still work. E.g. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=10&num=25&q=capetown&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5 will get you 25 results starting with 11th and this will be considered the second page of the search results.
